NJ Diesel Retrofit Law: Publicly Owned Vehicles and Equipment 1 - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

NJ Diesel Retrofit Law: Publicly Owned Vehicles and Equipment 1

Diesel Retrofit Overview  Reduces diesel emissions and the health impacts associated with diesel exhaust  Components of the rules:  closed crankcase ventilation systems for school buses  tailpipe retrofits (BART) for regulated diesel vehicles  Reimbursement of purchase and installation costs (Corp Business Tax) 2

Intent of the Diesel Retrofit Law  Reduce 150 tons of diesel particulate matter from the air every year.  Targets vehicles with operational presence in neighborhoods and have potential to directly expose citizens to diesel particulate matter.  Prioritizes PM reductions of in urban areas  = = > Cleaner emissions, lower noise 3

Diesel Exhaust  Classified carcinogen - World Health Org  Causes Asthma and Respiratory Distress  Cardiopulmonary diseases  Premature deaths 4

GOAL: All areas of the state under the benchmark

Retrofit Law Components  Regulated vehicles must be retrofit with PM Controls meeting BART standard  Compliance burden on vehicle owner  Submit Inventory / Cost Estimate  public utility vehicles & equipment  due 9/ 8/ 2011  Schedule installations & maintain devices  Direct Reimbursement  (state contract)  Authorized installers  Retrofit warranty 6

Completed Retrofits…  School Bus CCVS* 7,200  School Bus BART* 205  Solid Waste BART* 1,250  NJTransit BART* 1,300  Commercial Bus BART* 1,770  Public Vehicles & Equipment*  Approved~ 1,798  Retrofit~ 309  Voluntary Offroad Retrofits- 225 * = Regulated in Diesel Retrofit Law

Retrofit Funding  Corporate Business Tax Component  Expires 1/ 1/ 2016  Approved $65 million cost estimates  Reimbursed $43 million 8

Diesel Retrofits- Public Fleet Regulated Vehicles  " Regulated off-road diesel equipm ent " means any model year 1996 or newer off-road diesel equipment operated in the State that is owned by the State or any political subdivision thereof, or a county or municipality, or any political subdivision thereof, and that is equipped with a more than 175 horsepower engine.  Minimum 85% PM reduction  " Regulated on-road diesel vehicle " means any on-road diesel vehicle registered in the State that is owned by the State or any political subdivision thereof, or a county or municipality, or any political subdivision thereof.  Minimum 50% PM reduction  No exemptions due to vehicle age  Regulated Solid Waste Vehicles defined separately, due 6/ 2008 9

Retrofit Law- General exemptions  2007 & newer model year on-road engines  Engines meeting the 0.01 g/ bhp-hr PM standard  Off-road engines meeting 0.015 g/ bhp-hr PM standard (~ 2011 to 2014 phase in)  First aid, emergency, ambulance, rescue & fire  Dedicated equipment, not plow trucks  Dedicated Agricultural Vehicles 10

Compliance Tools  Guidance Document (Recommended reading)  State Contract - Authorized Installers  Submittal through DEPOnline  Workshops  www.Stopthesoot.org website  List server messaging system  Program Staff 11

Retrofit Devices  Diesel Particulate Filters and Catalytic Converters  DPFs - $6,000-18,000 – > 85% PM redux  DOCs- $1,500- 3,500 - 25% PM redux  Meet definition of BART  USEPA or CARB verified diesel retrofit emission control and reductions (% ) 12

Reimbursement  Covered cost  BART & ancillary items for turnkey  Installation labor  Not covered  Consumable items such as replacement filters  Facility upgrades  electrical services for regeneration systems  Remedial repairs necessary to retrofit vehicle  Existing damage, wear and tear, or modifications precluding installation of BART.  Non-contract installations unless under approved grant. 13

Basic Program Steps 1. Owner identifies Regulated Vehicles 2. Determine appropriate BART & Installer 3. Submit Inventory/ cost estimate form  includes inventory of all diesels  support docs for exempts/ lower BARTs 4. DEP review/ approve cost estimates 5. Installation 6. Submittals and Recordkeeping 7. One-Time Compliance Inspections 14

Determining BART  Owner Research  Manufacturer and CARB/ USEPA specifications  Engine Model Year  Duty Cycle  Vehicle/ Equipment Type  EGR/ non-EGR  Examination and Observations by Authorized Installer  Exhaust Temperature Profiles  Backpressure Monitoring  Sizing Concerns 15

16

Why Collect This Information?  Retrofits meet law  Internal controls/ prevent fraud  Pre-populate Compliance Form  Satisfy procurement process  Determine funds availability  = = > DEP review & approval  Letter with due dates for installations 17

Compliance Form  Owner downloads-prints & signs after install  Enter “retrofit device family name” by hand  Send copy to DEP, original with vehicle  Form due to DEP 5 days after retrofit installation is complete (Owner signature & device family name)  Installation verified at next emissions inspection  Inspector signs compliance form  Owner sends copy of signed form to DEP  Form due 30 days after inspection  Must have Inspector signature  Original stays with vehicle 18

Tailpipe technologies  DOC (diesel oxidation catalyst)  DPF (diesel particulate filter)  Mostly muffler replacements + ancillary 20

Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC)  BART Level 1 Devices  Have a PM reduction capability of 25%  Uses a catalytically induced reaction that converts PM, CO and Hydrocarbons to CO 2 and H 2 O (usually platinum catalyst)  Does not use a filter 21

Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)  BART Level 3 Devices – 85% PM reduction  Uses a filter to “trap” PM particles in the exhaust  Passive  Uses a catalyst to reduce PM ignition temperature and PM is incinerated using exhaust heat  Active  Uses an external source of heat to incinerate the PM trapped in the filter  Cooler/ low-power duty cycles or varied use  Dual regeneration filters have both a passive and active system 22

Retrofit Device Label Manufacturer Information Serial Number Family Name 23

BART Warranty & Installation Requirements  Retrofit, installation and engine damage  Must repair any damage to vehicle caused by normal use of retrofit  Vehicle has to be in good working order  High oil consumption is bad for BARTs  Must maintain BART retrofit device as per manufacturer specifications  On-Road = 5 years or mileage cutoff  Off-Road = 5 years or 4200 hours 24

Retrofit Maintenance  Owners-  Retrofit Maintenance  ash removal, filter cleaning & regenerations  Proper fuels (ULSF, B20)  No fryer oil  Repair damage  Poor Vehicle maintenance impacts BART  Excessive idling effects BART maintenance  On vehicle to end-of-life ( N.J.A.C. 7: 27-14.3) 25
